The Sauerland Stern Hotel sits on the Ettelsberg, a short walk from Willingen station, and with 506 rooms and 18 suites it is one of the largest hotels in the region. The house holds an official 4-star classification and mainly targets families, groups and conference guests. Wellness is one part of a broad leisure offering rather than the main event.

Spa and wellness

The spa includes an indoor pool, whirlpool, relaxation room and three saunas: Finnish, bio and salt sauna. The infrared cabin is separate. Massages and beauty treatments can be booked, and the gym is open around the clock. The Beauty Lounge also welcomes guests not staying overnight; access to the wellness area can be booked as an optional extra with treatments. Right next door is a leisure pool complex of approx. 1,200 m² with a lagoon-style pool: more splashing than silence.

Prices

Rooms cost from € 166 per room per night.

Who it suits

  • Families looking for pool, leisure facilities and evening entertainment under one roof
  • Groups and business guests (36 meeting rooms and a congress centre)
  • Couples who want to book a Beauty Lounge treatment package
  • Guests travelling with a dog: dogs are allowed
  • Less suitable if you expect a small, quiet wellness hotel

Good to know

There are three restaurants (Trattoria La Stella, EssZeit, Wirtshaus Zum Stern) plus a bar and a club in the building. The location is convenient: the station and the village centre are within easy reach, and the Ettelsberg cable car is close by. The trade-off for all this infrastructure under one roof is that the hotel gets busy in holiday periods.

Parking for hotel guests costs from € 5 per vehicle per calendar day. Register your vehicle using the QR code from reception.
